About Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work “draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction.” Gone Girl’s toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn. On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet? With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.

RSVP Guidelines for the Book Club. If you RSVP “yes,” please be sure to attend. If you are later unable to attend, please change your RSVP to “no” so the hostess knows how many will be attending. We will organize a waiting list if the group becomes full. If there’s a cancellation, the spot will go to the first member on the waiting list. If you attend the book club meeting, you will automatically be put in next month's book club unless you let me know otherwise. If you miss two or more, you will have to RSVP again to attend.

We're about:

The South Bay Ramblers Women's Social Group is a small group of women mostly from the South Bay Ramblers Hiking Group who like to get together for book club meetings, attend theater and a few other events.

We are an active women's social group and our main activities may include hiking, kayaking, book clubs, theater and outings usually accompanied with optional coffee, lunch, wine tasting or dinner afterwards. Lately we've mostly been doing theater and dinner nights and the book club. Our hiking group, which is organized in a separate meet-up group, keeps us busy on Saturdays. We'd love to offer more activities for this group but need some other members to step up and help. If you have a particular interest or activity you'd like to share, We'd love to hear from you. If not, we'd still love you to have you join the group. Hope to see you out and about real soon.
